      Eb                 Bb 
He sinks into his telescope

The other room, his mother cries,

His father snores.

And everybody laughs at him

Everybody thinks he’s strange.

In his head are second thoughts 
     Ab

He carries books with formulas 
Ab
dog ear paged.

If he really got up.
        C  
And hey, wouldn’t it be great

If he really flew…. Flew .

There’s water in his eyes,

Not behind his ears.

After all this time,
                                Ab           Bb
He’s got to face his fears, His fears.

(Play chorus chords.)
        Eb                             Bb           
The countdown starts, he shuts the hatch,
        Ab
And lights the fuse.
         Eb                Bb
Four-hundred and twenty feet,
        Ab
And then it blew.
Eb             Bb                  Ab
And everybody laughs at him
Eb       Bb                    Ab     
Everybody thinks he’s strange.

I love this band, I think they would be huge if they had a simpler name, 
but hey it’s them. This song goes off, I love it. Listen to the song to 
get the chord changes.
